Thank you for the preview! What exactly is a "weak target"?

Either a unit with poor combat performance or one that it weakened through combat or other actions (fatigue, disruption, ...). Fast vehicles are able to deal more causalties here to simulate that they can overwhelm the enemy better than heavier, slower moving tanks. The latter are more likely to cause the enemy unit to retreat, with less casualties.

I see. Nice mechanics you`re developing here.

I was wondering, how advanced are you in terms of unit graphics completion? Unless you are set on not showing pics at this stage so that if changes happen you won`t have to deal with complaints (apparently some people do that), I think that posting the ui cards of the units, instead of just the name would animate the forum.

Couldn't do that until the first official screenshots were out, but now that they are a few pics will probably be added with these updates.

That looks excellent! The Ise class is particularly cool. Thank you for the screenshot! It`s very nice to see unique, proper graphics for each class.

Would like to see the ISE class (CV/BB hybrid) as an option for the player to build. They were pretty much worthless for CV operations and remember they were only done because of a shortage of CV's (this would affect Shinano as well). I hope you include the Kongo and Fuso classes as well.

They were pretty much worthless for CV operations

Sure but from a gameplay point of view unique units like these add a nice bit of flavor.

Very nice! Are units leaving marks on the ground when they move? I was looking at the jeep from the village.

Yes, only a temporary effect though.

There was no "Avenger" class of CVE in the US Navy. Four ships of that type existed; 3 in the Royal Navy (called the Avenger class) and 1 in the US Navy called the Charger.

Maybe use the Bogue class instead?
